Reviews
"Absolutely superb. The staff were great and the food was bellisimo!"
"Is there a better Italian restaurant in New Zealand? Probably not. We have been here several times in recent years even though it's a trip of 90 km each way. This time was for my birthday and it made my day.This is a place you will really appreciate because they appreciate their guests. Very nice to have the owner doing the rounds of the tables genuinely interested in the opinions and enjoyment of his diners, thanks Antonio. Your attitude is reflected in your staff too."
"Had the naked special pizza with prosciutto and burrata cheese which was delicious and fresh. Great coffee too. Popular place, with a good selection of food, kitchenware and wine for sale."
"Fabulous experience from start to finish. Waitress let us know they were short staffed, but the service wasn’t compromised at all, with plenty of check ins by staff. Meals arrived quickly, absolutely mouth-wateringly good. Appreciated an outside table upon request, which the staff offered to help move when the January drizzle hit. Hope to dine here again next time we’re in town."
"The place is great very busy I would recommend reserving a table beforehand. Nice Italian food for whomever enjoys it. Bit pricey compared to the portion and simplicity of the ingredients. They serve Halal food as well all chicken,lamb, beef so that's a plus for them The dishes in picture shown cost us $172.00"
